Anatomy of Casino Capitalism

I highly recommend this excellent series of videos, which explain the current economic mess in a way I found extremely lucid and compelling.

The video is a series of interviews with Jane D'Arista, author of "The Evolution of U.S. Finance," vols. 1 and 2. Large, meaty tomes. Vol. I studies Federal Reserve monetary policy from 1915-1935, while Vol. II deals with more recent developments.

In these videos, she focuses on the current crisis. She sets forth the whole issue with excellent clarity. I will post the first two of the series, which I would say are "must-sees," and then I will leave you to find the rest on YouTube if you find them as worth watching as I did.
